Risk factors and prognostic modeling in bridging extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients before lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increased use of preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a life support system before lung transplantation demands a better understanding of the associated prognostic factors. This study aims to discern the critical factors influencing the survival outcomes of ECMO patients and design a prognostic model tailored to this patient group.

Methods

We retrospectively gathered and analyzed baseline and clinical data of patients who underwent preoperative bridging ECMO before lung transplantation from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted and a prognostic model was generated to identify the independent factors influencing survival outcomes in these patients. The predi
